Leicestershire's meat producers combine deep farming heritage with serious commitment to animal welfare and provenance. March House Farm in Great Dalby has been farming since 1780 and today breeds traditional native livestock including Gloucester Old Spot, Tamworth, and Berkshire pigs. Northfield Farm near Whissendine has specialised in rare and traditional British beef and lamb breeds for two generations. Grazers of Ashby Parva produces 100% grass-fed, sustainably reared beef, lamb, and pork.
The county's farm-to-fork ethos runs through its smaller operations too. Bridge 67 Butchers in Kibworth sells lamb and beef reared on the Vickers family farm in Smeeton Westerby, where they've farmed since the 1930s. Waterloo Cottage Farm near Market Harborough offers antibiotic-free meat bred to the highest ethical standards. Winterton Farm rears Longhorn and Welsh Black cattle near Wanlip.
